I noticed a lot of posts in the facebook groups I am part of both on BiggerPockets and other real estate investing groups in the last few weeks. Where are you getting your off market deals? 

Hey there! I am looking to grab coffee or a cocktail with any wholesalers so I can pick your brain for 15-20 minutes. Let me know if you are attending BPCon.

I know in March mortgage rates were discussed, but there still seems to me lots of conversations right now with with recent cut. In one of the BiggerPockets groups some people were saying with the fed cutting rates a half point was a BIG change and then others saying a SMALL change. So seems to be a lot of confusion out there of what the recent fed's 50bps means for the economy and borrowing money for investing. 

Thanks for the feedback. When you are visiting the site on your phone would you mind sharing what are the top 5 things on the site you use or would want on the app?

@Bill Schrimpf  The featured agent program has not been rebranded and still exists. What you are referring to is the website subscription, we retired the Premium membership and created a new Business membership. The goal of this new membership was to support both investors and companies better on the site and in the community. Many investors often said they did not know what “Premium” meant and wanted it to be clearer that the person had a business for them to work with. Additionally, we wanted to build tools specific for businesses such as dashboard widgets, updated business pages based on users’ feedback and we hope to continue to add more tools that help you scale your business within the community. We also brought the price down from $99 to $79 a month.We sent an email regarding this a few months back and confirmed one was sent to you. Please let me know if it would be helpful to send it again.

Welcome, so glad to have you in the community! I think we need a bit more information to help guide you. Are you thinking of a long term rental, mid-term, or short term? Are you looking for single family or multi-family units? What are your overall goals?

Shameless plug but I would say read some of our BiggerPockets books in the bookstore. I read Set For Life before I even know what BP was. Also Dave's, Start With Strategy was really cohesive and really helped me understand what questions to ask even after I had already bought a few properties.

As far as condo/townhouse I would say watch the HOA and make sure you know how much, any deferred maintenance and any rules. Such as issues with STR, or even renting it out long term. I have had friends buy a great condo and then didn't read the docs well enough to know that they limited how many units in the building could be rented out at a time.

Remember that there is no right or wrong way, it just depends on what path you are most interested trying out and feel most comfortable with.

Thank you for the feedback and super helpful to know you liked the maps. We are constantly testing and looking to improve our site navigation to make it easier for folks to find what they are looking for, but there is limited space on each page so we don't always get it right. We have tons of people in the community that host great local events and still encourage users to check those out here https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521

Thanks again for the feedback and hope that some upcoming tests help you to find what you are looking for easily. 

The community!! Amazing people sharing advice, challenges they have experienced as well as successes. Beyond that I could name a ton of tangible site benefits of subscriptions like all the calculators, discounts with partners like Home Depot, the great reports and webinars with tons of data on current markets and trends or the landlord forms just to name a few. 

So glad you are here!

If you haven't already done so you can add a keyword alert for Atlanta in the forums so you can always keep updated with topics in the community. There are so many great people here all willing to share advice and lots of great blog posts to learn from too. Glad to have you.
